There’s no cost to calling 911 on almost anyone.

I’ve had 911 called on me for praying before.

I don’t have any data and this is just a hunch but I’d bet most 911 calls on black people are made by black people.

No rational person should ignore crime statistics.

I watched a young black man, as he passed every car on my street, he turned, virtually jerked his head, to see what was in car windows, for some purpose I don’t know because I couldn’t read his mind, perhaps he was making sure there were no dangerous weapons inside each car that he should report. However, since “the bitch got hers” of the OJ Simpson case, the Rodney King “can’t we all just get along”, and the “racist ‘Hispanic’ black man” of Treyvon Martin who had the gall to defend himself against lethal attack, there seems to be an African-American cultural ethos that Blacks should be able to commit crimes against defenseless people, often against other African-Americans, and that it’s racist to legally react to this violence. If so, count me racist.

“perpetually policing and controlling black bodies”

So what’s her solution?

No laws apply to her?

But she gets to live on this dirt anyway?

Groovy. Then give up your vote, don’t take any money from the State, and forget about property ownership. And of course forget Constitutional Rights, since you are forswearing all that.

Good! Now you’ll be little more then a feral pack animal, roaming the land in search of a meal, always hunted.

Won’t take long after that before you’re put out of your misery.

Or you could be like Mel Reynolds and buy a ticket home to the dark continent. The lack of running water and indoor plumbing should make you feel right at home.

What if your only contact with blacks consisted of a man screaming the N-word and constantly re-assuring you that he was a GENUINE criminal...?

I think after a decade or so, that would start to make an impact.

Just a guess, though.

Basically B.S., but if they believe it’s true, go fix the collapsed black family and put responsible, biological fathers back in the homes. Next, tell your black brothers and sisters who are 13% of the population to stop committing 80% of the crime in America, including 70% of the felonies.

Wow, I never realized how much of a racist we all are.

The author needs to get out more, and away from the blue sewers.

Even in flyover country, as the song says people are good, for the most part.

What B.S.

There are plenty of examples of the police being called on white people who acted the way black people acted in the examples she gives, which ignore a great many actions that would get anyone in trouble.

For example, the Starbucks case, where the people mentioned did not buy anything and refused to leave when asked.

What she is asking for, in effect, is black privilege, which many black people do get, because people are afraid of being called “racist”.

She is saying black people should be given a pass on behavior that others would be called on.

If malevolent characters who “could be” doing any of these things are immediately subject to summary execution when they attack whites who ignore or engage them on friendly terms, we can talk about penalties for calling the cops. The authors do not have two brain cells to rub together between them.

How about when you’re the prey of a polar bear hunter? Of course they sneak up or sucker punch you, so you’re knocked out before you can call.

OK ... the “penalty” for reporting “suspicious” behavior that turns out not to be anything should simply be a verbal correction either on the phone, if apparent, or through a follow up call, to let the 911 caller know that their suspicious were not warranted.

How about we start with this then:

Caller: Hello, 911, there are people walking around this area carrying rifles on their backs.

Operator: Yes, open carry is permitted in this state.

Caller: But I feel threatened by this, I think it’s unsafe.

Operator: Are they pointing the guns at anyone?

Caller: No

Operator: Are they verbally threatening anyone?

Caller No

Operator: So why do you feel threatened?

Caller: Because they are carrying these weapons in public.

Operator. Again, that is their right - so you really have no reason to be calling 911.

Whadda bunch of outright racist BS.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
And, there’s always Zimbabwe or South Africa to go to. /S
I’m sure they’d feel a lot safer and better about themselves there IF it’s so bad here. Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease.

Here are the things that black people can't do in the United States in 2018 without a white bystander calling the police on them: sit in a Starbucks coffee shop;


The first sentence is a huge lie.

OK, you piece of racist crap. ONE person called the police in a Starbucks, and you expand this to ALL. You can go to hell.

Your obsession with blaming Whitey for your failures is close to insanity.
